MDC22xx Motor Controller Datasheet 5

Single Channel Motor Wiring

The single channel version of the controller (MDC2230S/MDC2250S/MDC2460S) requires that the output be par-

allel and that the load be wired as shown in the diagram below.

Important Warning

This wiring is only possible on controllers fitted with the Single Channel version of the controller logic.

Dual channel controllers will be damaged if wired as single channel. Verify that the PC utility identifies the

controller as MDC2230S/MDC2250S/MDC2460S before applying power to the load.

Encoder Wiring

The encoder connector is a 6-pin Molex Microfit 3.0, model 43645. Pin assignment is in the table below.

Controller Mounting

During motor operation, the controller will generate heat that must be evacuated. The published amps rating can

only be fully achieved if adequate cooling is provided. Mount the controller so that the bottom plate makes con-

tact with a metallic surface (chassis, cabinet) to conduct the heat.
